Object Handling 79

This is useful if you want to display or hide just your pasted object when layers above or
below are displayed.

Paste in place in current layer
The same as PASTE IN CURRENT LAYER, except your object will be pasted into the current
layer in the exact same position from which you copied it.
Paste opacity mask (Ctrl+Shift+M)

See Opacity Masks

Paste opacity mask in place
The same as PASTE OPACITY MASK, except your opacity mask will be pasted in the exact
same position from which you copied it. This is useful for moving opacity masks from one
layer or page to another, without changing its X/Y position.
Paste on all pages

Pastes the copied object at the same size and position on all pages of the document.
Cut, copy and delete with a mask

If there is an active mask present, it modifies the behavior of the cut, copy and delete
operations. Only the unmasked area of the selected objects is cut, copied or deleted.
This provides a quick way of cutting up photos or whole drawings.

See Operations That Use a Mask (on page 336) for more details.

Removing objects from the document

First select the objects you want to remove. You can then either cut the objects to the
clipboard or delete them.
Cutting objects

Choose "Edit" > "Cut", or press "Ctrl + X".The contents of the clipboard are overwritten
and you can paste the deleted object(s) somewhere else if desired.

Deleting objects
Right click and choose DELETE or choose DELETE from the EDIT menu, or press
the "Delete" key, or click the DELETE button on the STANDARD control bar.
In this case the deleted objects are not put onto the clipboard. If you accidentally delete
an object, undo retrieves it.
